Reports: ISIS surrenders Al-Bab to Turkish-led forces

Turkey’s Anadolu Agency news has just announced that Turkish-led forces are to take full control of the ISIS-held Al-Bab city in Aleppo countryside.

This has now brought an end to intense battles between ISIS and the Turkish-led forces comprising of the Turkish military, the Free Syrian Army and Islamist allies in Al-Bab.

Meanwhile, the Free Syrian Army has announced full control over the city.

As part of the deal, ISIS will retreat Al-Bab to Deir Hafer, where the Syrian Army are making rapid advancements against ISIS.

ISIS must also retreat with only individual weapons and must leave all heavy weaponry behind.

The retreat for ISIS will prove to be difficult as the Syrian Army had cut the main roads from Al-Bab, meaning only difficult dirt roads are their means for escape, making them exposed to Syrian and Russian airstrikes, as well as Syrian fire control.

All humiliation in this past 3 months aside, why the h**l are the turks sitting down and making deals with ISIS? This is unbelievable. If the sultan was really trying to fight them he wouldn’t strike a single “deal” he would just blow them all to h**l. I know the Syrian government has struck the “green bus” deal mant times with the “moderate” terrorists but they never did and never would strike deals with the world’s #1 enemy.
